How do I permanently delete all one click search engines from Firefox 34.0.5 except Google?

In previous versions there was a Delete or Remove button to permanently remove Search engine choices. This version has some several default choices that I cannot delete. Is this a feature you removed? Yahoo, Ask and Bing suck.

You can remove items via the previously used search engine manager that you can open via the chrome URI link I posted in my above reply.

The procedure you referenced is how to set the default Search engine. I want to delete (not deselect) the items in Search engine list.
